Mu Mingtang slapped his hand angrily. He was about to say something, and was cut off by Xie Xuanchen: "Let’s discuss business matters now and don’t think about the mess. Do you want to live at home or go outside? Where do you want to go, I will let People pack up the venue."

Mu Mingtang stared at Xie Xuanchen with a cold face. Xie Xuanchen was able to bend and stretch in front of so many people. He immediately put on a weak and innocent look, and even coughed weakly with his head turned.

Mu Mingtang was originally angry, but smiled again when he saw him. She rolled her eyes out of anger and said, "Sit down and don't pretend to be sick."

"I don't know what the headache is, and I still feel weak." Xie Xuanchen finally understands why the harem concubine likes to get sick at every turn, and now he also thinks this excuse is very useful. Xie Xuanchen leaned back on Mu Mingtang and said, "I'm sick, and you are still fierce to me."

Mu Mingtang wanted to push him away, but Xie Xuanchen was sticky like brown candy and couldn't get rid of it. Mu Mingtang grinds her teeth silently. She was originally worried that Xie Xuanchen was really uncomfortable, but looking at the degree of flexibility, could this be called sickness?

Mu Mingtang snorted softly, and did not buy Xie Xuanchen's account: "The wicked complain first. Don't pretend to be sick, I won't eat yours."

"No, I can't get up with a headache." Xie Xuanchen leaned his forehead on Mu Mingtang's shoulder, and his voice was dull. "You can tell me how you want to live your birthday and help me divert attention, otherwise I can't get up."

Dress up, the play is quite complete. Mu Mingtang didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but she couldn't push away, and she was reluctant to really pull her face down, so she could only sigh slightly and said, "No need to do it, it's not a whole birthday.

The weak Xie Xuanchen raised his head and blurted out: "How can it work?"

Mu Mingtang looked at him indifferently: "Are your headache gone?"

Xie Xuanchen said conservatively: "It's not completely good either. What's wrong with you, why don't you want to do it?"

"Nothing." What Mu Mingtang said just now was not really outrageous. She said, "Although birthdays are no different, it is a good day after all. On a good day, I don't want to stay with those people and listen to them. Fake words. I'm tired of staying, and they may not be sincere."

It does. Xie Xuanchen understood, and asked: "Then we won't call others, just celebrate by ourselves. What do you want to do on your birthday?"

Mu Mingtang thought about it carefully, and found that he lacks anything now, and what he wants can be achieved immediately, not a birthday wish. She thought for a while and said, "There is nothing special...If I have to say one thing, I want to continue making birthday wine. My parents helped me bury the wine since I was a child, and then it became a family routine. It was interrupted by the war. It’s been two years, and now it’s stable, but you can pick it up."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he sighed with regret: "It's a pity that there is no crabapple in the capital. Even if you make wine this year, you can't bury it under the crabapple tree."

In the spring, Mu Mingtang went to the garden to see it. Although the palace was full of exotic flowers and plants, there were not many begonias. There are only two crabapple trees. One has not germinated this year and is mostly withered. The other has been left unattended for many years and has become dying.

When Xie Xuanchen heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, but he said nothing.

Except for Mrs. Zhu’s invitation, Mu Mingtang’s posts have always been ignored. The spring scene outside the window became more and more lively, and soon it was the first day of April.

When Mu Mingtang woke up this morning, he asked Xie Xuanchen for a gift: "Where is my birthday present?"

Xie Xuanchen was already dressed, he smiled when he heard her, and said, "I forgot."

Mu Mingtang thought it was impossible, but looking at his expression, he was afraid that he would really forget: "Really?"

Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang's wide-open eyes and couldn't help but smile, "You lied to you, you wear clothes first."

Xie Xuanchen had a long history, and Mu Mingtang couldn't believe this person anymore. She was skeptical, the maids ran in and said excitedly: "Wang Hao, come and see!"

"What?" Mu Mingtang didn't understand what was wrong, so he was put on a cloak by the maid and pulled to the window. When the window opened, Mu Mingtang was startled by the sight outside.

In the originally flat courtyard, a flowerbed was opened at some time, and a tree of crabapples was blooming.

Mu Mingtang was very surprised: "Why... it was obviously not yesterday."

The maids were very interested and rushed to say to her: "Wang Hao, more than that, the whole street outside!"

"A whole street?"

"Yes!"

Mu Mingtang was surprised. She raised her eyes to look outside. Although she couldn't see the situation on the street, Mu Mingtang always felt that today was a lot more lively. Seeing such a scene early in the morning, Mu Mingtang became excited and said, "Help me change my clothes, I want to go out to see."

"Yes."

Mu Mingtang changed his clothes enthusiastically, and then took the maids to the gatehouse and saw that the main street outside the palace was full of begonias overnight.

Not only them, but the people on the street were also very strange, crowded together, pointing at the crabapple trees that suddenly appeared. Someone was well-informed, talking to the people next to him, and making gestures to Prince An's Mansion.

Mu Mingtang stood on the gate, even if he couldn't hear him, he could guess what they were talking about.

Obviously, only Wang Sun nobles can support such a big handwriting and such a big move. And there are two palaces on this street, one is the low-key Jin Wang's mansion, and the other is the perverse An Wang's mansion. Everyone didn't even think about it, they guessed it was An Wang's.

At this time, some people saw someone on the gate of Wangan's Mansion, and they were scrambling to look at them. Mu Mingtang had already seen the Begonia Flower, and didn't want to be watched, so he left with the crowd of maids.

After returning to Yulin Hall, Mu Mingtang saw Xie Xuanchen still pretending to be reading in the room, and laughed and angry: "You said you were not prepared, I almost believed it!"

Seeing Mu Mingtang smiling like a flower, Xie Xuanchen couldn't help but smile. He prepared for many days, so that it was just her words?

Xie Xuanchen said: "Even if I forget my birthday, I will never forget you. Don't you want to make wine, go to the garden to see?"

"There are also in the garden?" Mu Mingtang was surprised. "Begonias are not easy to transplant, let alone the flowering trees. When is this happening, why do I not know at all?"

"There are always farmers who are good at planting trees. Some were pulled last night, and some started planting a few days ago. We have to look at the gardens from time to time, so I specially asked them to dig the trees for a long time. It withered after only two days."

It turned out to have been preparing a few days ago. Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do everyone know about such a big thing, but I do not know?"

Xie Xuanchen was going out with Mu Mingtang. Hearing this, he didn't even want to say: "It may be that the people below have violated the situation."

The maid who had just said a basket of good things to the prince choked. what? Lord, what are you talking about?

The maids on both sides had complicated expressions and doubts. Mu Mingtang crossed the threshold and gave Xie Xuanchen a funny look when he heard this.

Nonsense. Obviously he let go of the words, and the people didn't dare to disclose the slightest, and the whole government carefully kept the secret from her. As a result, Xie Xuanchen was embarrassed to slander the maids without blinking.

That's enough.

When Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen walked to the garden, they saw that the lane that was once planted with strange flowers and trees was full of begonias, the corridor winding, the begonias were red all the way, and the steps and fences were full of red and white petals.

Mu Mingtang pointed to the flower trees on both sides, and pointed to Xie Xuanchen one by one: "This is Xifu Begonia, with double petals and single petals. This purple-red plant is four seasons autumn, and the peduncle is long and drooping over there. It's Begonia chuisi. When we were young, our family grew Begonia chuisi."

Xie Xuanchen looked at it the same way, but could not speak. Mu Mingtang talked for a while, and had a lot of fun, and said, "I know you can't remember, but you are willing to listen to it. Thank you for preparing so much, and deliberately digging Haitang."

Xie Xuanchen was not convinced by this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said I can't remember?"

Mu Mingtang was really surprised: "You can actually remember?"

"of course."

Mu Mingtang was suspicious and pointed to a tree casually and asked him. As a result, Xie Xuanchen glanced around and said it seriously.

Mu Mingtang was taken aback, and exclaimed: "Farewell to the scholars for three days and treat each other with admiration. You can actually recognize the flowers, it is not yesterday's hour."

Xie Xuanchen snorted softly and said: "Everything can only be divided into caring and not caring. There is nothing inherently impossible to remember. It is not too difficult. As long as you are willing to pay attention, how can you not remember it?"

Mu Mingtang agreed with this. Some people said that he couldn't remember things. To put it bluntly, it was still not important enough. Put it on men, especially so.

Mu Mingtang got excited, and pointed to a few tree flowers, Xie Xuanchen got the correct answers one by one. Mu Mingtang became more and more surprised, and finally pointed to a peach blossom. Xie Xuanchen looked at it for a while and sighed: "I can't recognize it. But I know it is not a begonia."

Mu Mingtang chuckled. Sure enough, Xie Xuanchen was the same Xie Xuanchen, he just recognized Haitang. Mu Mingtang smiled and said, "This is a peach blossom. We just saw it a few days ago. It doesn't count for you. You can only identify several kinds of begonias. When you encounter other plants in the future, you don't know anything. ?"

"That's what's up to me," Xie Xuanchen said, "I only need to know Haitang. What do other flowers do to me?"

Obviously it was a normal sentence, but Mu Mingtang blushed inexplicably when he heard it. Xie Xuanchen didn't pay attention and said, "If you still want to watch, then we will continue to move forward. If you don't want to, just go back. Don't you still want to make wine? The kitchen has everything ready."

Mu Mingtang responded. The Palace Garden is huge, and if you finish shopping in one go, it is really a lot of exercise.

On the way back, Mu Mingtang asked the maid to collect the petals from time to time. She explained to Xie Xuanchen: "Begonia flowers are poisonous and cannot be taken directly into the wine. But my mother has a unique skill. After processing the petals in a unique way, it can be used. But not too many, but fortunately there are many petals in spring. Mixed with other flowers into the wine, there is no need to worry about raw materials."

Xie Xuanchen seemed to understand, he had never done anything like this before, and he always felt that making wine was not difficult. Only after he got started, he realized that he was too particular about it.

Xie Xuanchen was repeatedly dismissed by Mu Mingtang, and the two people tossed for a full afternoon before finally sealing the wine can and preparing to enter the cellar.

Although the palace has a special wine cellar, Mu Mingtang's birthday wine must be buried under the tree. Mu Mingtang picked the most luxuriant crabapple tree, and while burying the wine, he said to Xie Xuanchen next to him: "This tree is frequently tossed by us. Will it die next year? It will be unlucky by then. "

"What nonsense." Xie Xuanchen glared at Mu Mingtang and wiped a piece of dirt on her face, "Don't talk nonsense."

Mu Mingtang rubbed his face with the back of his hand in disgust: "You still have dirt in your hand, so you just touch my face?"

"It's all from my own family, what dislikes it." Xie Xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang and couldn't help but laugh at her appearance. Mu Mingtang became more annoyed when she saw it, Xie Xuanchen smiled and held her steady: "Calm down, madam, at least bury the wine first. The wine made after tossing all afternoon, don't break it at the last minute."

The maids watched as the prince and the princess were digging and filling soil. They came forward several times and said they wanted to help, but they were all driven away by Mu Mingtang. They watched with a little sadness as the prince and concubine seemed to be playing with them. After the two finally had fun, the maids breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to serve Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen to clean their hands.

They waited a long time in the garden, and it was early to eat. The princess’s birthday banquet was extremely grand. The kitchen had been prepared early and kept warming on the stove. When the princess and princess came back, the kitchen quickly ordered the meal.

After Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen changed their clothes, the dishes were already set. It was late for dinner, and when they finished eating, it was dark.

On the first day of today, there is no moon, but the sky is full of stars.

Mu Mingtang raised his head unintentionally, and was instantly fascinated by the stars. She hurriedly waved her hand and motioned to Xie Xuanchen to come over and see: "Look, today's stars are excellent."

Xie Xuanchen walked to Mu Mingtang and accompanied her to look up at the stars. The sky is dark, and the stars are like broken diamonds, scattered in the night. The sense of vastness is far beyond words.

Mu Mingtang looked up for a while, slightly regretful, and said, "Tonight, the stars are good and the wind is good. The shadows are slanting and the fragrance is floating. It is best for a drink. What a pity."

Xie Xuanchen lowered his head when he heard it, and asked, "Why not?"

"Our wine was buried this evening." Mu Mingtang said, "It's only been a while, where can I drink it?"

Xie Xuanchen's eyes showed some meaningful shards, with a smile but a smile: "Not necessarily."

Mu Mingtang's eyes widened in surprise, but Xie Xuanchen didn't say much, but said, seemingly pointed, "You will know if you go and see."

Mu Mingtang intuitively felt that Xie Xuanchen made a small move, and she was about to go out immediately, but Xie Xuanchen held her back: "First put on the cloak, what's the hurry."

Upon hearing this, the maid had taken the cloak and passed it to Xie Xuanchen's hand. Xie Xuanchen put a cloak on her and fastened it properly before letting her go out.

At this moment, the sky is full of stars, the crabapples are in full bloom, and the garden is full of red. Mu Mingtang found the place where they buried the wine in the afternoon, and just approached, he cried out in surprise, "Is the soil loose?"

Xie Xuanchen stood behind her, his face warm as jade reflected by the dim light. When he heard Mu Mingtang's words, he just smiled: "You can dig it out again."

Mu Mingtang was skeptical, she was just about to do it, and the maid rushed down, resolutely not letting Mu Mingtang do it. Mu Mingtang didn't insist, she did her job with her mouth, and the maid digs wherever she points.

It is indeed easier than doing it yourself.

Only halfway through the digging, Mu Mingtang probably understood. Obviously there was nothing when the wine was buried in the afternoon, but now, there are more wine jars under the crabapple tree.

Mu Mingtang faintly looked familiar, she held the lamp to identify it for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Isn't this the wine my parents buried for me in Xiangyang before?"
